Women's RY400 Compression Recovery Tights

Actually found the SKINS Recovery Wear a few years ago. LOVE IT!!! After a hard workout or run, there is nothing better than a hot shower and RY400 Compression Wear. I finally broke down and bought a new pair; the pic looked the same, but the sizing chart was different. I'm tall and lean. I usually don't need more length in my pants, being that my upper torso is longer vs my lower torso. I was excited to get my new pair of RY400 Pants, but I have to say, they just didn't quite fit right. Based on the size chart, I should order a SMALL (last time I ordered a pair, SKINS offered women 2 styles: A- for ladies more slender at the top and curvier on the bottom, and H- for ladies that were more algined head-to-toe. I had ordered the RY400 Pants that were AS (A- type frame, size Small). They fit GREAT! However, this time, the only sizing offered was based on a chart with height and weight; NO consideration for shape. Unfortunately, these new pants just don't fit the same at all. The 'pant', area around my abdomen, is too short . Be great if I wanted the waistband 1 - 2" below my waist, but that just doesn't work for me. I have to really pull the 'pant' up in order for it for fit right, which makes the legs too short. Hmmm.I really liked how they used to be made, andhow they fit.

This tights really work. I've had them for a few months now and have felt some relief after normal training. I felt relief, but wasn't sure how much was real and how much was mental until just recently. I did a 50k trail race and had some serious DOMS pain. On the second morning after the race, I put these on after shuffling around painfully for the first hour of the day. Within 30 minutes my calves started to feel a little looser and my muscles much more relaxed. Completely changed my day, where I was planning on lying on the couch all day to actually being able to move around and do a normal day of walking. Wearing them under jeans at work on day 3, I almost feel back to normal and able to do some light jogging. Completely jump started my recovery. I'm just annoyed at myself that I didn't put them on immediately after the race.

These are truest compressive. Awesome for hiking ! Work better than medical script 30mg and last longer!Do not eeeever use fabric softener, bc it will eliminate compressive results.Last for 6 months once a week wear for 4+ hrs per wear!

I've been an endurance athlete for years and I'm so glad I added these to my recovery routine. They're perfect for wearing around after a long run or other leg-intense workout. They're not totally opaque, so I don't wear them out of the house on their own. They're thin so they fit well under jeans. I also have worn these on a few flights that lasted less than 3 hours, and they were pretty comfortable. Also, go to SKINS website to check out their sizing chart. It's hard to get out of the mindset of your usual size, but I made the mistake of ignoring the sizing chart and going with my usual medium — of course, the mediums were too big.

Legs fit taller than average female, but don't like the high waist that comes with the leg length. Wish a company would make a slightly lower waistline. I don't use them for exercise, but rather for improving venous return associated with POTS. I just gambled on this style and selected the recovery tights versus the ones for exercise. They do make a difference and I am more likely to wear these versus some of the uglier medical brands.

Bought these for my mom. The compression is very good, but the previous version was the winner for her. She stated, "The waistband on the newer, updated model is not nearly as comfortable as the one on the older model."  SKINS Women's Ry400 Recovery Long Tights , Graphite, XLH  She recommends the comfort of the model released prior to this model.

I absolutely love these tights! They feel amazing on! I felt so much better after training for an event when I slept in them! The reason for the lower stars is that after one wear, he seam came apart at the waist. This should not happen!

Love it. Would recommend it for everyone. Might buy it again

Wasn't convinced that these would work but after a few long runs lead to DOMS, delayed onset muscle soreness, I decided to give them a try. I did my long hilly run, came home showered and squeezed into these recovery leggings. I wore them for the rest of the day and even slept in them as suggested, I woke the next morning and took them off and was amazed that my legs felt great, not even the slightest bit of soreness! Well worth every penny I spent on them.

I'm 5'11 95ks and larger in hip and bum area. The large fit well. Considered a smaller size after putting them on as the don't feel very tight in the leg but dont think ill be able to get the waist band to stay over my bum. Not as low rise as they look.

they had a hole in the seam of the crotch without even being worn. Really disappointing as they fit well, but the material feels quite thin and I don't trust the seams. I have other Skins which I love so I was expecting a lot more from these

Super comfy to sleep in, they slide yet with no static electricity with other garments, and they’re long enough to cover the feet. I’m yet to feel any compression though, dunno if they’re really helping sore muscles

Very light and comfortable silky fabric. Good compression and comfortable enough to wear under jeans or in bed all night. BUT the seams are fragile and split in two places the second time I wore these - I am sending it back for a replacement. I would expect these to be better made for the price.
